The voice tool
that doesn’t lose your work.
Continuous file writes. Crash recovery. A parallel transcription queue that never blocks. Every word stays on your Mac — and nothing gets dropped.
macOS 15.0+ · APPLE SILICON & INTEL
Your voice.
Your computer.
Nothing else.
Shout runs entirely on your Mac. No servers to reach, no auth to expire, no rate limits. One Parakeet model, fifty languages, zero round-trips.
Built for reliability.
Continuous file writes, crash recovery, and a parallel queue that doesn't drop a word.
Whisper + Parakeet.
Two on-device model families, nine sizes, fifty languages. Transcription runs locally — pick speed or accuracy.
Designed for dictation.
Keyboard-driven capture that types where you focus. Zero context switches.
Made for vibecoding.
Dictate prompts into Cursor, instructions into Claude Code, replies into Slack. Shout types where you focus — no plugins, no integrations, just a global shortcut.
AND EVERYWHERE ELSE
Every meeting.
Accounted for.
Shout cross-references your calendar with the audio buffer and tracks which apps were active. Find any meeting from a week ago, see what was open, and export the audio.
Transcribe. Playback. Context.
A visual timeline of your rolling buffer. Select any segment to transcribe, play back the audio, and see which apps and meetings were active at every moment.
Transcribe
Select any segment from the buffer and transcribe it on demand. Local models, instant results.
Playback
Listen back to any part of the buffer. Scrub with arrow keys for precision.
App & meeting context
See which app was focused and what meeting was active at each point on the timeline.
Dropped audio is impossible here.
Not a promise — an architectural decision. Here’s what happens when your Mac crashes mid-recording.
Crash detected — xpc service exited mid-capture.
Rolling buffer intact. Last flush: 1.8s ago.
Session recovered. 0 seconds lost.
Speak. Paste. Done.
Hit ⌘ Space to start a dictation segment. Speak naturally, then paste the transcription into any app — all from the keyboard.
Keyboard-driven capture
⌘ Space to start. Speak naturally. Hit stop or ⌘ Space again to finish. No mouse needed.
App-aware paste
Shout detects the focused app and pastes there. Switch targets from the toolbar dropdown.
Multiple transcriptions
Queue multiple segments. Each one transcribes independently — paste them into different apps.
I forgot to hit record for a standup. Opened the timeline, transcribed the whole thing an hour later. That was the moment I stopped using anything else.

ENGINEERING MANAGER
The always-on buffer is the point. I had an idea on a walk, didn't write it down, came home and pulled it straight off the last hour.

PRODUCT DESIGNER
Offline, local, and the accuracy holds up with technical jargon. I run client calls on it without a second thought about where the audio is going.
